Everyone started to have a camera. That's when I started to travel outside of New York and go into nature.

My mom had seven kids in seven years, and then she had me 11 years later. So when I was born, my oldest brother was 18. And my youngest brother was 11. By the time I was 7 or 8, everyone had moved out. I went from being with ten people all the time to being an only child. It really freaked me out.

I couldn't wait to come to New York to reinvent myself.

I think a lot about control nowadays, and I really want to let go and just be more in the moment.

I know that my mind is so A.D.D., and I want instant gratification - and photography can provide me with that - but at some point, I want to make an independent feature.

I'm going to put every aspect of myself out into the world and try to convey it through photography.

What I really believe is that there are no coincidences anymore.
